A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld an order preventing the Trump administration from ending DACA. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which allows some undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children to be shielded from deportation for two years and receive work permits, can continue. The Trump administration announced in 2017 that it would be ending DACA, telling recipients to prepare for "departure from the United States." This decision was immediately challenged in court, with a federal judge in January issuing a nationwide injunction ordering the administration to continue the program. This injunction has now been upheld. The administration has already asked the Supreme Court to hear a case on this issue.

A tropical storm warning was lifted for the Bahamas on Saturday. Less than two weeks after Hurricane Dorian swept through the Caribbean nation, Tropical Storm Humberto posed another threat, but it's now heading away from the islands. The storm is still expected to bring one to three inches of rain to the Bahamas, including pockets of six inch rain, although storm surges don't appear to be too much of a threat. Humberto is then expected to strengthen into a hurricane as it heads out further into the Atlantic, likely sparing the East Coast of the United States. Two more tropical storm waves are reportedly being tracked by the National Hurricane Center.

President Trump confirmed Saturday that the U.S. killed Hamza bin Laden, the son of the al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, in a counterterrorism operation in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region. Trump and adminsitration officials provided no further details other than a three-sentence statement confirming the news, though American officials have reportedly given some indication that the CIA, rather than the U.S. military, conducted the strike. Hamza bin Laden's death was first reported in July, but the White House did not officially confirm. Washington said Hamza bin Laden's death "not only deprives al Qaeda of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group."

The New York attorney general's office in a court filing Friday said it uncovered about $1 billion in wire transfers by the Sackler family, the owners of pharmaceutical giant Purdue Pharma. The discovery comes after thousands of municipal governments and 23 states tentatively reached a settlement with the Sacklers and Purdue, which manufactures OxyContin, over the company's alleged role in the opioid crisis plaguing the United States. The transfers have raised speculation that the Sacklers could have been trying to hide assets while facing litigation. The attorney general's office only presented initial findings, but the filing said they identified "previously unknown shell companies" that Mortimer Sackler used to move Purdue money through international accounts before concealing it in real estate investments. A spokesman for Mortimer Sackler said there was nothing newsworth about the "decade-old" transfers.

Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for drone attacks on the world's largest oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia and another major oilfield operated by Saudi Aramco on Saturday. The strike, which reportedly forced Saudi Arabia to shut down about half of its crude oil out, started a major fire; Saudi Arabia said it had brought the blazes under control, though it was unclear if there were injuries related to the attack. Smoke from the fires following the attack were reportedly visible from space. Houthi military spokesman said the Iran-backed rebels launched 10 drones in a coordinated attack and warned more strikes could come if the Yemeni civil war, in which Saudi Arabia backs a coalition fighting the Houthis, does not stop soon.

Anti-government, pro-democracy protests are under way for the 15th consecutive weekend in Hong Kong. Pro-Beijing groups clashed with the demonstrators at a mall in Kowloon Bay. The two sides reportedly threw punches and hit each other with umbrellas before police separated them. The dueling protesters also reportedly grappled near a "Lennon Wall," a mural of protest art set up by the anti-Beijing demonstrators. Earlier in the day, a Lennon Wall was reportedly torn down which also caused fights to break out. Meanwhile, more than 100 secondary school students gathered in central Hong Kong, where they planned to construct a Lady Liberty statue and sing "Glory to Hong Kong," which has reportedly become the anthem of the protests.
